Ground Test Demonstration and Preparation of Flight Test of an Ultra High Bypass Ratio Ducted Geared Turbofan Engine for SMR Aircraft

Design, development, manufacturing and ground test demonstration of an Ultra High Bypass Ratio (UHBR) ducted geared turbofan engine, including advanced core engine and combustion technologies, advanced thermodynamic (variable) cycle; and hybridisation technologies targeting ultra-efficient propulsion systems for SMR aircraft, with a fuel burn reduction of minimum 20% at aircraft level compared to 2020 state-of-the-art. TRL 5 at ducted geared engine architecture system level from ground test demonstration at project completion.
